I teach an introduction to NVivo and a number of sessions on methods and developing proposals at postgraduate level.

I supervise Masters and PhD students and am currently co-supervising a PhD student:

Knowledge Economy Skills Scholarship (KESS): Everyday lives: exploring the experiences of people with a learning disability in the early stages of the new Social Services and Wellbeing Act (2014) Wales. Partner: Mencap Cymru (2016-18)

I am interested in the broad areas of health service provision for people with mental health illness and working with narrative approaches. I am leading the qualitative work stream on the GCRF - South Asia Self Harm Initiative (SASHI, http://sashi.bangor.ac.uk/).

Service provision for people with mental health and substance misuse problems - the relationship between stigma and social exclusion(Robinson, CA, Krayer, A, Poole, R, Wolfendale, C). Funded by NISCHR (£109,863), 2011/2012.

Carers for people with mental health problems: needs assessment to service provision(Robinson, C A, Seddon, D and Bowen, S). Funded by the Big Lottery health and social care research fund, (£297,000), 2005-2010.

I supervise Masters and PhD students and am particularly interested in topics around suicide and self-harm, the use of narrative methods and the meaningful involvement of people using services in research.

Visit to the IPH field station in BR Hills (Karnataka) to meet Dr Prashanth N Srinivas who heads IPH’s health equity cluster. Prof Huxley and I discussed opportunities for futher research. My particular interest in in qualitative work with the tribal community around self harm and suicide. I will be taking this forward and developing a protocol under the SASHI umbrella
